Appropriate assembly points have been identified for people leaving the city, there are also prepared transport arrangements to move people on to rest centres and special arrangements have been made for the evacuation of vulnerable people. The public will be warned of the need for evacuation or where one is imminent through a variety of channels including messages broadcast by the media and communications networks in the city centre.

The city centre has been divided into 22 zones for civil defence purposes & plans have been drawn up to evacuate in the event of major utility failure, serious fire, natural disaster or terrorist incident.

It all seems standard practice for governments to prepare the public for emergencies. People in general are too stupid to think about "what happens in an emergency" and need to be reminded.
Personally I don't think there's much chance of an evacuation, more a lock-in which is why the city has been divided. These areas would go into shut-down mode, hard to get in, hard to get out. A policy of containment.
I'm sure what's so sinister about it.
Even today, the Home Office "Preparing for Emergencies" guidance is "Go in, stay in, tune in" ... not evacuate a whole city.
